Low-cost high-throughput capabilities
Next to the Unchained Labs Junior platforms, ROAR offers a range of affordable, low-cost high-throughput equipment:
- One Opentrons OT-2 platform for automation of liquid dispensing protocols, using air-displacement pipettes. It can be fitted with 2 of the following pipette heads concurrently:
- Single-channel pipettes (1-20, 20-300 and 100-1000 uL)
- 8-channel pipettes (1-20 and 20-300 uL)
- Two HEL PolyBLOCK heated stirrer units for SBS footprint plate-based reactions. They allow to:
- Magnetically stir up to 4 plates
- Heat up to 4 plates independently (max temperature: 190 °C)
- Automatically control and program multiple steps for heating and stirring profiles
- Paradox® and Lumidox® high-throughput plates for photochemical reactions.
- 96-well aluminium block with 1 mL glass inserts for high chemical compatibility
- SBS Plate footprint compatible with robotic platforms (Unchained Labs Juniors and Opentrons) and PolyBLOCKs.
- 4 wavelengths available: blue, green, white and 365 nm UV arrays
- One single channel HandyStep™ BRAND™ positive displacement repeater pipette for handheld dispensing of liquid arrays.
- Automatically recognizes tips
- Positive displacement tips for high chemical compatibility
- Volume dispensing range from 1 uL to 50 mL
- Dispense multiple aliquats from a single filling
- Programmable for same volume or varied volume dispense, dispense over time and titration
- One Integrity 10 platform on loan by Cole-Parmer for medium-throughput parallel reactions (AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!):
- 10 independently heated and stirred reactors
- Monitors and logs exportable data (e.g., temperature program)
- Reaction volume 1-25 mL
- Refluxing
- Run 10 reactors under inert atmosphere from one gas line
